The four major disciplines propelling our students and our society forward; all about education in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Just One Robot
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a worldwide non-profit organization that provides competitive robotics programs for students of all ages. Focusing on the importance of hands-on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education, FIRST is a platform for young engineers to discover their passions and pursue their dream careers. From circuitry to designing for manufacturing to programming, students on FIRST teams get to experience all aspects of robotics engineering.

How 3D Printing is Making a Difference in Learning and Teaching
3d printing in education is budding engagement When students can visualize and sense things, they can master concepts faster. Earlier and even today, we are referring to creative charts for references, but this technology goes beyond. With a 3d model, accurate graphic design, and real-to-life representation, it is easier to deliver knowledge.

Fun Electrical Engineering Projects for Kids
Are your students interested in how their electronic devices work? If so, they may be future electrical engineers. Electrical engineers essentially make various items with electricity. They study how electricity works and create new ways of harnessing this power. They are responsible for designing valuable devices and appliances, from cell phones to alarm systems. An electrical engineer also probably designed the electric breaker in your home.

How did Albert Einstein Spend His Leisure Time?
Albert Einstein (1875–1955) is considered as the most influential and recognizable scientist of the 20th century. He presented the theory of relativity which changed our prior concepts regarding space and time. This theory now serves as one of the two pillars of modern physics, the other one being quantum theory.

Corking the gender gap
For years stereotypes have existed within the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) sectors. Perhaps this is the primary reason why the number of women in the industry is still at such a low level. Sadly, despite the stereotype now being incredibly outdated, its presence still remains.

Are Grades Hurting Your Education?
As an undergraduate STEM student, I am all too familiar with the feeling of dread that accompanies the return of graded exams. The pit in your stomach grows as you peek at the red markings, afraid of what might be in store. The anxiety surrounding graded school work can be overwhelming and paralyzing, especially when grades are seen as the currency of academic success. From medical schools and graduate schools to parents and peers, the leading discourse is that maintaining a high GPA is imperative. To many, a motivated, successful student is dependent upon the promised reward of a high grade. But are grades actually helping us learn?

Difference Between Left Brain and Right Brain
Do you ever amaze to know that about 90 % of people are right-handed and the rest of them are lefties? Science says this is all genetic however for me, I guess it is your choice that you make when you hold the pencil for the first time. But not just writing, those who are lefties, does everything with their left hand and righties with their right hand.
